Also worth pointing out the Overton Window has shifted from "China can't silicon." to "China's doing crappy 7nm." in a span of only a few years.

The copium levels in the atmosphere here are reaching critical levels.

I haven’t seen any “China can’t silicon”. They are catching up sure, and they will eventually do 7nm well, but it seems like instead of praising China for progression, the pro-China people are like “see the west sucks China has 7nm!!!” When the reality is that the 7nm is as good as CPUs 15 years ago. Let’s appreciate that China isn’t siting around doing nothing and improving the competition. But not overhype something.
